Handy Reference Guide

A very handy reference guide, as well as an excellent starting point for the convoluted history of US/Indian Treaties, and Acts. It is chronoligically ordered, and contains synopses of the Treaties and Acts. The next book I'd like to find is a summary of the extent to which all treaties have been violated by the US government.

long needed and necessary for indian history

This book has been a Godsend to me for researching specific Native American legislation. The book saved me weeks of time by zeroing in on specific congressional legislation germaine to Native Americans. The book is clear and concise enough to give any researcher the actual law or document related to N.A. History
